Calendar Control

Does anyone know how to write text data to a Calendar Control? I am writing
an app that is essentially a scheduler. The user starts on a form by entering
an event, appointment, vacation time etc. The user then selects the dates
that this event will occur. I want the event, date, and some other fields
from the form to populate the appropriate dates on a calendar. Is there
anyway to do this?

Re: Calendar Control

Robyn,

I needed exactly the same behavior for an app I recently wrote, but couldn't
find a control to do the job. I messed with MS's Calendar 8.0 and the DatePicker.
Neither worked so I just wrote my own. It handles up to 3 lines of text
per day and has a few nice features the Calendar Object lacks. If you'd
like a copy of the OCX just email me and I'll send it your way. Component
is as is. I can make changes for you if you'd like but I'm not going to
make any promises.
